Other necessities can include flashlights, lighters, matches, tools, a manual can opener, sanitation items, and cooking equipment. Other items will depend greatly on your family makeup. If you have small children, baby supplies may be needed. Pet owners will have to keep their animals' needs in mind also. Keep copies of personal documents such as birth certificates and social security cards ready to go as well as a substantial amount of cash.

The type of shelter you require will depend on where you live and the type of emergency you are facing. You may or may not be able to stay in your home.
